Trustees, Report
ChalmiarfsAnnual R•port 2025
2025 has been a 518nSfk4nt year for the company In that we flnally va¢&ted our Transhlpment Warehouse offlc• to
enable saleof the asset thus tsrln8ln8 to a close almost 40 years of havln8 an offlce base.
Bo•rd meetln8s have been held regularly and the AGM held In N¢)vember 2025 In the Thoma5 Bourne room In
what Is now the North of England Centre for Muslc and Arts •t Standed8e, followed by a Volunteers, Socl)I
8athedn& w•$ well attended.
On a sad note Hudderslbeld Canal Soclety Patrons, Mmothy West and Prunella Scale5, both dled In 2025 and the
earty months of 2026. Both were stalwart supporter5 of canal socletle5 findlng tlme durfn8 thelr busy Ilves to ￿51t
Ihelr favouTlte waterway5 and through thelr IV serlts celebrate the waterway envlronment and all Involved In thE
waterway communlty. l •m ple•sed I was abbe to represent our Soclety at nmotws memoflil servl¢e In London In
Septlmber.
Our two craft resumed 5ervlce In tlme for Easter 2025 It Ihelr re5pertlve lo¢atlons,. Marsden for the e-shuttle and
Uppemlll for the Llttle Blue 8oat as the dle5el craft has be¢ome known. The latter has been a popul?r 8ttr•ttion
Ind has made up for the reduced actlvlty at st8nded8e durln8 the year. The new b•tterles on thè E-shuttle have
been J 8reJt suttess •nd very much Improved rèllablllty. Thè number of passengers and level of Income w85 at an
•ll tlmè hl8h ¢)vernll fr*r th* yearand fji refiects the hard work of Mlke McHu8h and all the crew5 on both boats. I'm
arnteful for all that they do to publlclse our Soclety and canal and the opportunlty they 8l¥e to vlsltors and local
people to take a trlp on the canal. I w15h to record th¢ SocleV5 Ihjnks to member Peter Klllan •nd hls wlfe ft>r uge
of thelr moortng ai Uppermlll wlthout whlch operatlon of the Llttle Blue 8oat would not be fe4slble. In￿lably
some of our older crew rnembers have retlred from operatlon5 whlch make5 the efforts to recrutt replacement
crews cruclal In orderto make theoperatlon of both boat5 Posslble.
The Hanson famlly have been developln8 thelr operatlons •t the North of Engthnd C•rtr• for Muslc and Arts whlch
has helped 8enerate foorfall. The FrleThd5 of Standedge ¢ontlnue to operaie tha café at Tunnes End It wtèktnds as
well a5 workln8 on ground ￿l￿ten￿n¢t of th• slte. Our Soclety Is collaboratln8 wlth both or8anlsations and Canal
& Rfver Tnjst stsff and volunteern to Incre45e vlslts to the Tunnel End s￿* and to start plannlng celebratlons Sn
2026 to mark 25 years slnce the reopenlngof the Huddertheld Narrow tsnal to through navlK•tlon.
The Soclet(s m•lntenJn¢e operatlons contlnued on a fortnl8htty bas15 throughout the year. The re8ular dutle5
Involved Iltter clearance, lock gate palntlng, gear 8reaS1￿ artd vegetatlon control. I wlsh to th•nk Vlce Chalmian.
Trevor Ellls, for h15 commltment ¥nd sklll In managlng the team's Important contrlbutlon to the canal envlronment.
Sadly 2025 was •noiher year of severe dlsruptlon to canal traffic. The malor bonk fallure on New Ye8rfs Day at
Mossley preventèd through passage untll September by whlch tlme most of the country was In the ylp of
drought whlch Inhiblted navigation for the rest of the year on the Huddersfleld Narrow and rnany other canbls
partieularty In the north of En8land. For most of the ye•r the only boats usln8 the canbl were our own as they dld
not need to pass throu8h locks on thelr short trlps. Credlt must 80 to Canal & Rlver Trust for expedllln8 the
th¥llengSng le￿IT of the breo¢h In a locatlon wlth Ilmlted occess and a stèèp drop to the RlverT¥me below.
The vast malorlty of canal users walk or cycle the towp8th ènd our Soclety was SUPPOrtSve of the work to Improve
the surfate from Slaithwar(e to Tunnel End duTln8the year.

Our newèrt Trustee, Nik Lever, has already made an Impresslon brfng hts IT skllls to bear on our publlcity- Nlk
enabled an attrattive Pennlne Llnk n￿letter to bÈ produced In September arKI he has bttn worklng on
modernlsing our websr(e and revTsin8 the popular folded map leaflet. Our presènce on social medla has been
enhanced W the work of a number of boat crew members and I'm 8Trteful for thelr commitment to keeping the
5ouety in the wbllc eye.
Membership continues to be around 400. It is pleasing to note that there has been a steady nurnber of new
supporters to replace lapsed and deceased members mainty through recruitment of new boat crew. l am grateful
to Anne Go88ln for a6reeln8 10 take on the Membership Secretsry rolè earty in 2025 from Patritia Baylty. Anne's
work85 minutes secretsry ha5 also been much apprttiated.
We continue our Invofverneni wlih Nc+rthem Canals Assoclatlon and Keith Syke5 has been our point of conts¢t
attendin8 most rneeting5 and sharing inft>rmaticffi with fellow canal ￿toratIOn Broups. Keith has also continued to
Pre￿ on the SocSeVs behalf for Improved trjatsr fatllttres and has been in5trurnental in planning a visit by the
l*Vlldernes$ 8oat aub to the canal In 2026. Keith Syke5 and Trevor Ellis joined me at the annual meeting on the
operation al￿ rnaintenan￿ agreement with Canal & RiverTru5t mana8ers for both re8lons where we were able to
raise concems about progress on aspects of Cftfs work and learn about thelr pdorltles at a tlme when
Go¥emment financial support is reducln8 year on year.
The Socbety led two hlstory based walks durin8 Hèritsge weekends In Septembèr, an aspect of our activitiès which
Is set to increase In 2026. Interest in ljcal history rernains 5tron8 and sa￿S have necessr(ated a fourth imprint of
theStsndedgeTunnels B¢)ok beln8 pub115hed.
The Tr￿tee$ a8reed that the sale of our fomer office at Oob¢ross would best be achle¥ed by auctlon and thls
priwed to be 5ucce5sful approach. Local e5tste agents put us Sn touch with Aurtion House and the ensuing proce55
resulted Sn hl8hest tsid much In excess of our antlcipated one. The purchaser needed lon8er than the contractual
time to find the fvnds buttheTrustees felt the delay was worthwhlle as it finally proved. Vm grateful forthe effort5
of colleagues In helping sort throu8h the considerable volume of items in the Transhlpment Warehouse to get It In
state to put in on the market. A key issue for the So(lety was identifying those item5 whlch should be archlved
for fthure publlc accesslblllty. We were grèatly helped in this regard by the stsff of the West Yorkshire Archive
Servlce, Klfklees ofllce, whkh du￿ accepted several boxe5 8thd to them forthis purpose.
2025 ts the third year in which ouraccounts show a surplus and this is set to continue. enabling investment In small
projects whlth meet our obJertive5. I'm grateful to the our Trèasurer. Mlke McHu8h, for effldently maintalnln8
r￿OrdS of recelpts and payments. The Company's balanced portfolio of inV￿trnents 8ive5 the Soclety a slgnlflcant
rinanclal buffer for the future. lfftllth the sale of the Transhlpment Warehouse golng through in January 2026 It wlll
fr￿u$ our miryls on finding rfft¥ lar8er projects to invest in for the benefit of the Huddersfield Narrow Canal and its
